Rating: PG

Summary: Two brothers, two personalities, two enemies, two allies, and yet one destiny. A small fluff story taking in the AU of "Lies my Friends Told Me". The ups and downs of the relationship between Mark, and Matthew (later known as Wesley) Pryce.

Author's Note: None of this will make ANY sense if you don't read "Lies My Friend Told Me". Please read, and reveiw. I have lots of other mini stories, and I am planning on making a bunch of them. Heck I am even thinking of a website! Sorry, just when I get into something like this, I REALLY get into it. I know my grammer and spelling really aren't that good, sorry. Love you all bunchesEule (owl)

Matthew sat on the porch of the old Mcdonna Manor; all cleared of cobwebs and loosed floorboards. He watched as all the old furniture, and loose floorboards and anything else of the manor that was consider trash burn. Yet he didn't exactly watch, because he was blind yet his head was in that general direction. He could smell the smoke. Saving gas money because they wouldn't have to go to the dump and that money could be used for something like fixing the house.

"You did good," said a slightly cold voice from behind him. It was Mark, his younger brother. Mark had been taking care of Joni and will all summer long, and they had just recently all been reunited.... Mark disapproved of Matt because he could barely take care of himself much less 3 younger siblings.

"What I do good with?"

"Luke." he said still slightly coldly. The blind man merely nodded looking back.

"Lukas do you think you burn that?" asked Matt sitting on the porch next to his youngest brother.

"W-w-what? No I'm sorry I-I can't...I-I can't...sir. I-I"

"Luke, it's ok," laughed Matt putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Y-y-your not mad."

"It's ok you can't do it. I don't expect anything from you really. But it would help us out a little bit if you tried." he said smiling warmly. Luke looked at the man with a pair of round black sunglasses whom wore them in the middle of February.

"Ok Matt.I'll try." and the little first grader got up went over to the pile and stared at a floor board for almost 10 minutes straight before suddenly the entire thing burst into flames knocking Luke back. "I-I just meant for the floorboard not the whole thing I-I-I'm sorry I"

"No, that's ok, are you alright?" he asked Shadow whom had taken him to the scene was licking Luke's face. "Shadow heel." he hissed slightly and the wolf sat next to Matt. Matt was kneeling down on one knee and Luke was standing up. Matt didn't need eyes to know what was going on. He merely opened up his arms which Luke then immediately wrapped his arms around him and cried into his shoulder. Luke's father was thier real father's twin brother. Matthew got the real father, yet the thing was Luke never got to escape to the academy, Luke probably didn't even have a mum to help protect him slightly, the thing was Luke had never experienced love before.

Mark watched with slightly cold and narrowed eyes from the doorframe of the house

"He just needed some reassurance."

"We all do." he merely replied as he left his older blind brother to sit on the porch to think.

Valentines Day, Mark came into the still under construction house a bit jumpy.

"Whats the hurry Mark?" said Matt sitting in the living room that had some white sheets over the furniture.

"Nothing." he replied about to come up the stairs.

"Your dateless"

"So, I was planning on staying home anyways." he said coldly.

"Mark, you know you should get out."

"Why?"

"Because it really isn't healthy for you to be staying home every single day every five seconds and being 15."

"Shut the hell up! Your not my father, hell I'm not sure if your my brother!" he said as he ran up the stairs.

"Markus." he said calmly as he entered his room and slid out the window.

"Are you sure you should be out here?" he said coldly sitting on the roof.

"I can take care of myself."

"Somehow I highly doubt that," he said, and Matt knew he was narrowing his eyes.

"Your right I'm not your father, but I am your brother...I'm just trying to look out for you."

"Why the hell do you care about any of us huh?" he asked standing up and going back into his room. Matt merely followed and punched him square in the face sending him to the ground. He put his fingers in his mouth and took it out to see blood on his fingertips.

"That's why, blood, it's a connection we have, a connection I have with only 3 other people, a connection I never knew I had up until a few weeks ago." he growled. "The sooner you realize you have the same connection with me, the better." and with that he slammed his younger brothers door closed in anger.

Matt came home, Shadow at his side, groceries in his arms.

"I'm home," he cried on a Saturday Morning. He heard to his right, which he knew was the living room laughter. He turned his head; even though he couldn't see it he could sense thier precedence.

"Oh hey Matt." said Marks cheerful voice. It was the first words he had spoken to him for over almost 2 weeks because of thier fight that happened on Monday 2 weeks ago.

"Whats going on?"

"Watching cartoons," said Luke's voice.

"Did you know that Bugs Bunny get drunk more times then most people do in a year?" said Joni's voice. Matt chuckled.

"Mark I am holding you responsible for that comment." he grinned as he headed to the kitchen, Shadow leading him every step of the way. His loyal Seeing Eye wolf.

"Ok, on your mark...get set.... go!" yelled Luke as Mark and Matt dived off the diving board, early in the morning before school and work. They had 15 minutes before they had to get ready for work and school. They raced down the 25-meter pool, doing an IM. Butterfly, Backstroke, Breastroke, and then Freestyle is the order. Mark reached the end of the lane first considering Butterfly was his best stroke. He touched the blue tiles with both hands and flew onto his back using his big strong arms to started flying back down the lane, Matt closely behind. Mark had sprinted his first two laps because the third lap, which was Breaststroke, was Matt's best stroke. He was at the halfway mark at the bottom of the pool when Matt finally finished his backstroke. He pushed off and using his powerful legs and arms kicked once and did one stroke before coming up for air and then went back under and did a strong glide before once again coming up for air. He was caught up with Mark, and now it was a race down using basic Freestyle of the front crawl as some people called it. They where both equally good at it. So they both sprinted down the 25-meter pool, and the winner was.... no one. Little Luke was to busy talking to the pretty lifeguard who thought he was so cute to see who won the very close race.

"So I told RJ that..." Mark and Matt merely laughed.

"Are you sure your ready for this?" asked Mark coming into his older brothers room. They had been fighting this demon for weeks. They haven't even put a name on it except "The demon" it had been pretty invincible to all it's attacks. Yet he didn't get a response as he older brother packed his weapons. "Luke, and Joni said thier ready, and they know to stay back except to throw some fire balls or what ever at the demon." he said nervously still not so sure about the idea about bringing them to battle. "They're just kids Matt."

"They're the chosen Wyndam Pryce's, like us."

"They're so little."

"In this world Mark...so are we."

"Have any plans?" asked Mark to his older brother as vampires surrounded them.

"Yeh" replied the blind man.

"Whats that?"

"We turn them to dust." and he started to fight. Even if he was blind, he could see, well slightly. He unlike other blind people had much more intense sense's more powerful then the average blind man, so he could here every single breath, every single movement, he might as well have eyes. So with that he swung a punch at the first vampire.

After the first summer, Mark did lighten up quite a lot, yet he was still very close to his family, never leaving it's side. Never going out, or anything. So because of this his relationship with his family could only grow. Yet out of all his siblings he would still purposely push Matt's buttons from time to time. Right after the big battle with "The demon" Liz and Matt started dating (finally) and Matt got his sight back. Yet shadow still constantly roamed the house. Still ever loyal to the family.

"Weren't you out awfully late young man." Said Mark sitting in the living turning on the lamp as Matt tried to sneak in.

"Well I was.umm.Wren he…Liz she…."

"Yes I see, you are punished."

"What? You can't do that!"

"Try me," he said coldly. "You could of woken up Luke or worse Joni. You know how hard it is to get her to sleep."

Most people would of laughed at this situation, yet Mark was dead serious and Matt knew it. He acted more like a grown-up then he did. Yet the second year brought a grand surprise to both Mark and Matt, forcing for once Matt to act like the adult
